This newcomer doesn't seem friendly.

Xu Mo was amused by the little girl’s words.

“No need, no need. By the way, Xiaofeng, before the movie is officially released, there will be a private screening for industry insiders to review it.”

“If you want to come, I’ll have the director save you a seat.”

The promotion was in place.

Now it was just a matter of seeing how other theaters would react.

But Xu Mo didn’t need to worry about that.

The line of people trying to curry favor with him stretched all the way to Rome.

All he had to do was say the word.

The big shots who owned theater assets would gladly prioritize Xu Mo and Lin An'an’s film.

They wouldn’t mind earning a little less money.

The main thing was to climb onto the Xu family’s towering tree.

They understood the saying: a big tree attracts wind, but it also provides great shade.

“Brother Mo, make sure to save me a few extra seats then!”

“I’ll bring some friends along.”

“What about your brother? Doesn’t he need one?”

Xu Mo casually asked.

The little girl’s gaze shifted to Tao Xiaoyi.

Tao Xiaoyi was so embarrassed he wished he could dig a hole and disappear!

With the time he’d waste at the cinema, he could have pulled off a few shady deals.

Why bother wasting time at the movies?

Tao Xiaoyi’s lips twitched, his smile not quite natural.

“Brother Xu, I—I don’t really need to go, do I?”

Tao Xiaofeng rolled her eyes in annoyance.

Her brother Mo was so kind-hearted.

But her own brother was being all reluctant, as if it were some life-or-death situation.

“Brother Mo, if he doesn’t want to go, can you give his seat to me? I have a lot of girlfriends, so I can bring more people along.”

Xu Mo smiled and said, “Sure, you can have them all.”

“Hehehe—” The little girl giggled like a blooming flower, gently punching Xu Mo with her delicate little fist.

“I knew Brother Mo is the best!”

These were all subconscious actions.

Xu Mo was amiable and easygoing.

Combined with his transcendent aura and super handsome looks,

he was practically lethal to girls of Tao Xiaofeng’s age.

Meanwhile, Tao Xiaoyi was feeling his scalp go numb!!!!

Oh, my little ancestor!!!

You need to watch the timing and setting when you touch Brother Mo, and pay attention to the women around him!!!

Your sister-in-law is right there, why are you trying to take her place?

Get in line.

Wait—no, just leave quietly!!!!

You’re still young, let your sister-in-law handle it. Don’t meddle in the Xu family’s affairs.

Tao Xiaoyi was on the verge of tears, occasionally stealing glances at Zhou Qiaoqiao’s expression.

When he noticed that Zhou Qiaoqiao was just smiling and didn’t seem angry,

he finally relaxed a little.

As time passed,

the guests gradually arrived.

At the entrance,

a graceful figure walked in.

Tonight, Yang Jingying was wearing a noble purple backless dress with a high slit, revealing her milky-white long legs that made certain people salivate uncontrollably.

Her delicate earlobes were adorned with a pair of Chanel earrings,

enhancing her already striking presence.

Beside her was Yang Jingxuan, dressed in a light green dress.

Yang Jingxuan’s choice was more conservative,

as she wasn’t quite comfortable in such social settings.

She wasn’t used to wearing formal dresses either,

so she opted for something she could move around in comfortably.

Given her slightly tomboyish personality,

she didn’t want to risk a wardrobe malfunction.

The charm of these sisters was already off the charts individually.

But standing together,

they were downright lethal.

Following them were Han Zhiqi and the others.

There were plenty of beauties at the banquet,

but when these leading ladies entered,

the other women seemed to fade into the background in an instant.

All the spotlight was on these heroines.

Meanwhile, Lin Fan entered the venue and exchanged a few pleasantries with Ma Qun and other business tycoons.

Xu Mo, that damn rich second-generation heir, didn’t need to bother with such things.

But Lin Fan, the self-made Dragon King who didn’t rely on his family, had to!!!!

“Dragon King, look over there. Han Zhiqi from the Han family and Yang Jingxuan from the Yang family have arrived,” Ma Qun whispered into Lin Fan’s ear.

Lin Fan followed Ma Qun’s direction and looked over.

Sure enough, there they were.

Without comparison, there’s no sense of loss.

A bus,

compared to a high-end private car, is a world apart.

Even Lin Fan felt a pang of regret.

Thinking back,

damn, he regretted it.

The first time he visited the Han family,

Han Xiong had tried to arrange a marriage for him.

At the time, he’d been an idiot and turned it down.

If he’d agreed sooner,

he could have secured ties with one of the Four Great Families of Magic City.

If he needed firepower or to silence someone,

the Han family would have been his first choice.

“Damn, I screwed up,”

Lin Fan muttered under his breath.

If he got another chance like that,

he’d agree first.

If it didn’t work out, he could always find an excuse to break it off later.

But if he missed out on a gem,

wouldn’t that be a huge loss?

Just like now.

“Dragon King, aren’t you close with the Han family? Shouldn’t you go over and say hello?”

Ma Qun asked with a smile.

Ma Qun was aware of this.

Lin Fan initially thought it made sense, but after some consideration, he shook his head.

“No.”

Ma Qun was taken aback.

Then his face showed a look of regret.

Right!!!!

He’d been foolish this time.

Lin Fan was the Dragon King of the Dragon King Hall!!!!

Handsome, skilled, and powerful.

For him to lower himself and chase after these women—

it would be too demeaning!!!!

If Lin Fan could read his subordinate’s thoughts,

he’d probably say—

Do you think I don’t want to?

It’s just that Han Zhiqi isn’t giving me a chance, okay?

If I went over to say hello,

there’s a 90% chance Han Zhiqi would give me the cold shoulder.

Until her attitude changes,

Lin Fan didn’t want to make a move.

Nor did he want to see her give him that disdainful look.

Meanwhile, after entering the venue, Han Zhiqi’s eyes were searching for Xu Mo.

She dismissed all the prominent spots upfront.

Instead, she focused on the quieter, less crowded areas.

As expected,

she soon spotted Xu Mo.

Dressed in a striking red backless dress, Han Zhiqi made her way toward Xu Mo.

As she walked, glimpses of her radiant beauty were revealed with every step!

Yang Jingying frowned slightly,

then followed suit, striding over in her high heels.

At that moment, Xu Mo and the female demon were chatting happily with Tao Xiaofeng.

Then, the other heroines arrived.

Without even greeting anyone,

they casually found seats and sat down.

A group of stunning women,

gathered in one spot,

created an overwhelming visual impact.

Xu Mo, snapping out of his daze, was completely bewildered.

Who was he?

What was he doing?

Where was he?

In the time it took to exchange a few words,

he’d somehow been surrounded by the heroines?

What the hell!

Is there no justice?

No law?

Xu Mo swallowed hard, a flood of thoughts racing through his mind.

He wasn’t sure if he should voice them!

The Tao siblings were even more confused.

They hadn’t done anything!

Why were they being treated to such a high-level gathering?

Tao Xiaoyi tried to steady his nerves.

With so many stunning beauties around,

even if he had thoughts,

he wouldn’t dare voice them.

His family background wasn’t on par with theirs.

To put it nicely, it would be overreaching.

Tao Xiaoyi shot Xu Mo a look.

—‘Brother Xu, what’s going on? Why are there so many goddesses here now!?’

‘Their eyes are all on you.’

‘This doesn’t look good!!!!!’

Goodnight, sweet dreams, everyone~~~~~~
